Re: 5.20 sopranos
I did enjoy this episode, though not much really happened. There's so many plot points that I want to be finished up and I can't see how that'll happen in two episodes. That's kind of frustrating. I've always like Artie Buco and it seems like he won't be making another appearance.
It seems to me that Tony might be ashamed of A.J. because he sees himself in his son. If you remember flashbacks we've seen of Tony as a child show that he was a bit of crying puss just like A.J. Looking forward to the next two episodes. I really hope the series ends well.

Great ep. The scene at the pool right after Tony rescues AJ was really intense. Iler is not a great actor but he did an awesome job in that scene. Do people think Tony and AJ are really depressed, or are they just manipulative complainers who use depression as a crutch, like Carmela was implying? Also found the scene with Melfi and her therapist interesting, as he was implying that Tony was just pulling a con job on Melfi in therapy. [/ QUOTE ] Tony and AJ are without a doubt depressed - Carmela's claim that they 'use' it seems right to me, but also a little unfair. What struck me about the group therapy session was that Anthony's so-called trauma were really illusions. Still, depression can easily be 'used' by people to ensure that no one confronts them about anything - that if every little thing in their life sets them off, that the big problems pass by unnoted.

Two episodes left after this one. Just when it was starting to get consistently interesting again. I think i may throw away my tv after the final season of The Wire. [/ QUOTE ] i dont know what to add to this, other then hd sports and cool discovery channel shows, you're basically right.

It wasn't necessarily the holding of him, but just seeing how Tony realizes what's going on and then frantically jumps in, and then once AJ is out, he doesn't know whether to be furiated (he pushes him or grabs his head for a second) and then holds him. Really really moving moment, it really just emulated exactly how Tony feels about his son. Meadow getting threatened. Not like I thought he'd actually do anything, but for whatever reason I really felt tense during that scene. Not sure whether it was for Meadow's well-being, or the implications of this action, or maybe the fact that even though Tony is 'evil', I feel his family is innocent... I don't know. Then Tony and the 'curb'.... it just felt freaking good to see Tony kicking major ass again and not giving a [censored]. I think this is a top 5 episode probably... I really really need to go back and watch them all again though. Can't believe only 2 eps left. Before this run started I was thinking it was time for the Soprano's to end it's run, now I am extremely saddened by the fact that they are really done in 3 weeks. I hope the finale is extended. Love the show. Any bets on who gets whacked next week? In the preview for next time, it kind of looked like <font color="white"> AJ was running away from something.... also we DID see a quick glimpse of Janice looking startled, please baby Jesus tell me she's targeted </font>

I recognize a lot of the symptoms. I get a lot of insight from the therapy sessions. Great episode! Tony finding the tooth in his cuff during family counselling. Awesome

I mean look at that water bottle he drinks from. Smacks of pretention.

Whatever happened to Artie and Charmagne Bucco, and Vesuvio? [/ QUOTE ] I figured their story was essentially settled last season. Remember how the scene ended with him digging into an old-school recipe book after getting defensive with Charmaine (wrt her confronting him about annoying the customers) and how he said they were going to get whatever he decided to make for them? I interpreted this to mean that Artie finally accepted his lot in life, that he was returng to his true behind-the-scenes chef calling. Gonna miss those hot [censored] juggs of hers, though.
